After one hell of a wait, Watch Dogs is out on Tuesday. Is anyone picking it up other than me and TGP?

Ubi generally puts out excellent products, and the delay should have given them plenty of time to polish it up, so I'm hopeful. Plus it looks like a modern AC, which sounds great to me.

The only red flag for me is that the protagonist looks and sounds like Gruff Shooter Dude #6374652. After playing AC4 and InFamous Second Son, both of which had enjoyable male leads, that seems like a step back.

Aye, it was the one game I originally pre-ordered with my PS4. Hopefully it will arrive on Tuesday, and then I'll be wishing I'd taken time off between leaving my current job (on the 30th) and starting my new one (on the 3rd).

Though, I did write a guy's final paper for him, and he's offered to upgrade my rig as payment, so there ya go. I got him an A on a 15 page paper I researched and wrote in 3 hours for a class I never took, from a professor I never met, 5 years after I graduated college. No big deal.

I wasn't really interested but my fiancee is, so we pre-ordered it from Microsoft for the Xbox 360. We got a $15 Xbox card for pre-ordering so that's a nice deal. She's been playing a ton of State of Decay lately.

not that interested in this game ... and don't have a PS4 to play it on. I think the new Batman game will be the first to make me interested in the next-generation (not counting the excellent games for Wii U).

I could have started playing it at midnight through Steam but I decided to get a good night sleep instead. Very fun and challenging game though. I have only played two hours, but it isn't as easy as a GTA or Saints Row game. The early missions can be difficult, and failure is quite possible right off the bat. They aren't so hard that I am pulling out my hair, but just difficult enough that I feel like I need to step up my game and play a little smarter. I look forward to the next 40 to 80 hours

I still suck at running from the police when driving, but on foot I can get away fairly easily.

There is an exploit (oversight?) that the police won't chase you into the water...

I'm loving it though. I need to expand the types of missions I am playing, I have been sticking to saving people from random crimes and smacking down gang operations. I should try more fixer missions, criminal convoys, and online challenges.

I have to stop preventing every single crime that pops up in the city. It's getting to be too much. There are popups every few seconds for criminal this, online that. I can't keep up with it all, especially when I am trying to free-roam and solve some tower puzzles and collect some items.

I find myself playing this the way I played MGS3: Fuck the stealth, I'm going in guns blazing.

The combat is pretty difficult, so I don't know if that approach will be effective later in the game, but I did just take down a squad of elite guards to accomplish a mission, so maybe it won't get much worse than that.

My biggest problem is that all that gunfire tends to attract the police, so I end up fighting bad guys and cops at the same time on a semi-regular basis.

I bought it by mistake in the one mission that forces you to buy an assault rifle. Haven't used it. Still haven't shot a weapon except against another player (didn't get him), and an explosive on a rooftop blocking a hack point.

Ok, you obviously haven't been paying attention. I was playing Saints 2, The Third, and IV constantly while waiting for Watch Dogs to release and be playable. It was so close that I was acting like I didn't know what those games were because I just wanted to be playing Watch Dogs already, and not have to wait anymore.

I have been playing the digital trip Alone minigame. You have to sneak through the city in the dark to turn off generators that are making it dark while evading robots with flashlights for heads. It's really creepy, really frustrating, and quite a bit of fun
